French First lady Collapse After Learning of Her Husband's Extramarital Affairs on News Paper!

France's humiliated
first lady Valerie Trierweiler will stay in hospital for another week,
suffering from ‘very strong emotional shock’ after learning that the President
had cheated on her, officials said last night. collapse

'Distraught' Miss Trierweiler, 48, Turned into a laughing stock

She remains in a
‘fragile’ condition but has apparently signalled that she can forgive Francois
Hollande’s secret trysts with an actress – if she can hold on to her prominent
role.

Secret tryst: Actress Julie Gayet, 41, is said to have spent several nights with the president

Miss Trierweiler, 48,
was taken to hospital last Friday after President Hollande, 59, confessed to
his affair with film star Julie Gayet, 41.

Last night a spokesman
said she would stay in hospital ‘for another six or eight more days’, adding
that she needed rest after a ‘very strong emotional shock’.

From her hospital bed,
Miss Trierweiler seemed well enough to be orchestrating a campaign to win
public sympathy. She let it be known that she felt she had been ‘hit by a
high-speed train’ – but was ready to forgive Mr Hollande.

The couple are not
married but have been together for six years, making her the de facto first
lady when the Socialist leader became President in 2012.

The divorced magazine
journalist, who still writes a column for Paris Match, has been widely
criticised for her high living.

She has five
taxpayer-funded staff at her permanent disposal and the use of several homes,
jets and limousines.

Miss Trierweiler has
been personally briefing French newspaper Le Parisien, which last night quoted
‘a friend’ as saying: ‘She seems ready to forgive, but she wants to know quickly
what Francois Hollande’s intentions are.’

Frédéric Gerschel of Le
Parisien later said he had spoken directly to Miss Trierweiler.

He said: ‘She has made
it clear that a clarification is needed. She knows that, if she is no longer
first lady she cannot continue to have an office in the Elysee and make use of
state funds.’

Mr Hollande has said
nothing publicly – except to complain about his privacy – since French magazine
Closer carried comical pictures of him sneaking in to his Paris love nest wearing
a helmet after arriving by scooter.

According to Le
Parisien, Mr Hollande broke the news of his cheating to the first lady on
Thursday afternoon.

Miss Trierweiler’s friend told the paper: ‘The scene took place in the
panelled rooms of Elysée Palace, without confrontation nor shouting. In a few
words, the head of state admitted the existence of a liaison.

He denied nothing. Neither the escapades on the scooter with the
security officer in the middle of the night, nor the frequency of these
clandestine rendezvous, nor the date that this love affair began... several
months ago.’

When Mr Hollande
confirmed his romantic encounters, a ‘political-emotional Tsunami’ ensured,
according to Le Parisien.

‘Valerie took it like
being hit by a high speed train,’ said a friend. ‘She was completely stunned.
Of course, she’d been aware of rumours circulating around Paris for
weeks.

‘She just wanted to
believe it was false. For her, they are still a couple,’ added the friend,
saying Ms Trierweiler and Mr Hollande spent New Year’s Eve together, and
enjoyed part of Christmas with Ms Trierweiler’s family.

A palace source said:
‘She didn’t believe it at first. She thought they could just get their lawyers
to stop the magazine publishing the story. Then she was told it couldn’t be
banned. She was upset, very upset.

‘She is being
humiliated, and effectively turned into a national laughing stock.’
